The Day That Never Comes, the first ballad on Death Magnetic, certainly is yet another good example of Metallica were being truthful when they said they let past records influence them on this album. Whereas the first half of this ballad (Let’s remember that the first half of Metallica …

There are few progressive bands that have had as much influence on modern indie/progressive music as At The Drive-in. With a large library of amazing songs, it is hard for any of them to stand out above the others, not because some of them are so bad, but because …

My favourite track on this …

Technically judging, the tune is not that sad enough to mean what …

Whips and Chains by David Allan Coe is a weird song. It is probably my least favorite song that he does. It just goes to show that you can write a song about almost anything though. I don’t think this one made it very big because I had never …
